请注意时间/区域，如果你设置它保存在数据库中的日期，因为我得到了一个问题，当我从mysql的日期转换为时间戳使用strtotime比较。在将日期转换为时间戳之前，必须使用完全相同的时间/区域，否则，strtotime()将使用默认的服务器时区。

请看这个例子:https://3v4l.org/BRlmV

function getthistime($type, $modify = null) {
    $now = new DateTime(null, new DateTimeZone('Asia/Baghdad'));
    if($modify) {
        $now->modify($modify);
    }
    if(!isset($type) || $type == 'datetime') {
        return $now->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
    }
    if($type == 'time') {
        return $now->format('H:i:s');
    }
    if($type == 'timestamp') {
        return $now->getTimestamp();
    }
}
function timestampfromdate($date) {
    return DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', $date, new DateTimeZone('Asia/Baghdad'))->getTimestamp();
}

echo getthistime('timestamp')."--".
    timestampfromdate(getthistime('datetime'))."--".
    strtotime(getthistime('datetime'));

//getthistime('timestamp') == timestampfromdate(getthistime('datetime')) (true)
//getthistime('timestamp') == strtotime(getthistime('datetime')) (false)

function date_to_stamp( $date, $slash_time = true, $timezone = 'Europe/London', $expression = "#^\d{2}([^\d]*)\d{2}([^\d]*)\d{4}$#is" ) {
    $return = false;
    $_timezone = date_default_timezone_get();
    date_default_timezone_set( $timezone );
    if( preg_match( $expression, $date, $matches ) )
        $return = date( "Y-m-d " . ( $slash_time ? '00:00:00' : "h:i:s" ), strtotime( str_replace( array($matches[1], $matches[2]), '-', $date ) . ' ' . date("h:i:s") ) );
    date_default_timezone_set( $_timezone );
    return $return;
}

// expression may need changing in relation to timezone
echo date_to_stamp('19/03/1986', false) . '<br />';
echo date_to_stamp('19**03**1986', false) . '<br />';
echo date_to_stamp('19.03.1986') . '<br />';
echo date_to_stamp('19.03.1986', false, 'Asia/Aden') . '<br />';
echo date('Y-m-d h:i:s') . '<br />';

//1986-03-19 02:37:30
//1986-03-19 02:37:30
//1986-03-19 00:00:00
//1986-03-19 05:37:30
//2012-02-12 02:37:30

如果已经有了该格式的日期，则只需要在PHP中调用“strtotime”函数。

$date = '22-09-2008';
$timestamp = strtotime($date);
echo $timestamp; // 1222041600

或在单行中:

echo strtotime('22-09-2008');

简短而简单。

<?php echo date('U') ?>

如果你愿意，把它放在一个MySQL输入类型时间戳中。上面的代码运行得很好(仅适用于PHP 5或更高版本):

<?php $timestamp_for_mysql = date('c') ?>

对于PHP >=5.3, 7和8，这可能工作-

$date = date_parse_from_format('%Y-%m-%d', "2022-11-15"); //here you can give your desired date in desired format. 
                                                           //just need to keep in mind that date and format matches.

$timestamp = mktime(0, 0, 0, $date['month'], $date['day'], $date['year'] + 2000); //this will return the timestamp

$finalDate= date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $timestamp); //now you can convert your timestamp to desired dateTime format.

文档:

date_parse_from_format () mktime () 日期()

考虑到函数strptime()不适用于Windows, strtotime()可能会返回意外的结果，我建议使用date_parse_from_format():

$date = date_parse_from_format('d-m-Y', '22-09-2008');
$timestamp = mktime(0, 0, 0, $date['month'], $date['day'], $date['year']);
